Dewalt Battery Charger Multi-use Adapter
Intro- My sons have a RC car that takes a 7.2v NiCd Battery.
The Charger that came with it is....lame... it takes 8-9h to charge the battery...for about 1h use
It is also just a wall wort with no advanced features
so i got to thinking about it and realized my Dewalt Charger does 7.2v...a quick test with some wires stuck down in it hooked up to the battery pack for the car...worked Great
not wanting to dismantle my charger i devised an evil plan...ok i've been watching tooo many cartoons with my kids

(i did check with a multi-meter to see pos+ neg-)
Pretty simple...but it works
